Right-hander Jared Burton has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees that includes an invitation to spring training.

Minnesota declined its $3.6 million option on Burton in December, making him a free agent.

Burton was strong setup man for the Twins in 2012 and part of 2013, but his velocity and performance slipped in late 2013 and that continued in 2014. Overall last season he posted a 4.36 ERA and 46/25 K/BB ratio in 64 innings.

At age 34 he’s certainly still capable of being a solid middle reliever.

Here’s our annual free agent tracker, which will be updated regularly throughout the offseason. The rankings are based on the Top 150 Free Agents column. Players who didn’t make it into the top 150 are included at the end.

Re-signings are in red. Players signing with new clubs are in blue. The 12 players to turn down qualifying offers (and thus require draft pick compensation) are listed with asterisks.
